Attorney Stevenson Declare Detec. live Leving's Efforts to fcecure Conviction Canned by West's Offer of Stipend. ST. HELENS. Or June S. (Special.) Following a two-hour sum-up of ths evidence by District Attorney Tongue, during the course of which the only Incident which detracted from the In tense stillness of the courtroom was the action of the defendant's mother In rushing from the room to fall faint Ins; on the floor of the corridor, the jury In the Pender murder case retired at 1:40 o clock this afternoon. Mr. Tongue gave a vivid and forceful pre sentment of the circumstances which the prosecution contends Indicate that Pender committed the crime and the deductions to be drawn from them. lis was preceded by John H. Steven son, who closed for the defense, and who, Impressed upon the Jury that the law requires that conviction must not result from suspicion or on probsblll ties. lie urged that if the defendant went to the Wehrman cabin a fact which Itself is denied for an Improper motive there was no reason why he should have armed himself. He said that- Detective Levlngs probably was convinced of the defendants' guilt, but charged that Levlngs' strenuous efforts to secure Pender's conviction were caused by the hope of securing th 15000 which Uovernor West hss prom ised to recommend that the next Legis lature appropriate as a reward for the arrest and conviction of the murderer. He argued that the state had proved nothing but suspicion against the de fendant, and In conclusion warned the Jurors of the terrible injustice which would result from an erroneous con vlction. Political F.ffeet Charged. Deputy District Attorney Miller opened the argument for the stats, but lie occupied only 15 minutes of the two hours which it was stipulated each side should use In addressing the jury. John K. Logan, who followed him for the de fense, declared that Sheriff Thompson and Coroner Hhcrwood were anxious to secure Pender's conviction for political effect. lie said that Thompson bad caused the defendant to be arrested and prosecuted, not on evidence but on the theories of Detective Levlngs. He urged thst the scratches on Pen drr's face. If any existed, had been com pletely explained by witnesses for the defense, and that Ouy Whitney was not certain that he had given Pender, from the postof fire In Hcappooae, the paper found In the Wehrman cabin. He pointed to the fact that the bny had admitted telling relatives of the de fendant that he did not give Pender the mall on that day. Me recalled that the state had connected Pender up with th Riley and Hasson pistol only by proof that Pender had one borrowed It, and would not admit that the state had proved that It was the weapon with which the crime was committed. Mr. Logan recalled that N. E. King. the expert, had testified that most pis tols have gasplta. tie offered to stop In the middle of his argument If Mr. Tongue would waive the rules and give him 10 minutes before the jurors just prior to their retirement, but the Dis trict Attorney called the offer "bluer and refuaed to accept the challenge. Mall Questloa rrobea. "On Labor day, when Tender went to .Scappoosr. he asked for the mall for Hnitxervllle." argued District Attorney Tongue. "That Included the Wehrman mall, which the defendant admits he hsd often taken from the office. That paper was in the office on that day. if he didn't take It. how did It got way from the office? We have estab lished that no other person In that , community secured It. Every circum stance corroborates Ouy Whitney's evidence. "Why did Pender suggest that the authorities be notified when he had seen Sheriff Thompson and Deputy Hherlff Grant driving up that way and returning the afternoon of the day be fore?" demanded the District Attor ney. "Why did he suggest, at a time when nobody knew when the murder had occurred, that It was no um send ing for bloodhounds as the rains of the past two or three days would have obliterated the scent? If he didn't have trouble with Mrs. Wehrman on the day they walked down the road, why did she pass a chair to htm through the window when he stopped at the cabin the Thursday preceding the murder, and why did she pass and fall to recognise him when they met at the home of John Nelson? (The de fendant on th witness stand denied meeting Mrs. Wehrman at the Nelson home, although Mrs. Nelson testified positively that ha did, and Mr. and Mrs. William Coin declared on the stand that he was at their place help Ing to fight forest fires at the time the State contends he was at the Nel son place.)" Mr. Tongue recalled the testimony of several witnesses, including that of the defendant, that Pender waa ac quainted with the Wehrman baby and urged that the child was ainea 10 re move the only eye witness of the slaughter of the mother.
